Health Law

Medical treatment disputes require both legal analysis and careful review of clinical evidence. We advise patients, families and healthcare professionals on malpractice, consent and regulatory matters.

How we can assist

• Medical-malpractice and compensation claims
• Patient rights and informed-consent disputes
• Hospital, physician and insurer liability
• Criminal and disciplinary aspects of treatment
• Expert-report and medical-record review

How the process usually works

1. Initial assessment. We identify the parties, immediate deadlines, jurisdiction and the practical objective.
2. Document and evidence review. We examine the available records, explain gaps and identify evidence that should be preserved.
3. Strategy and action. We prepare the appropriate application, notice, negotiation or court proceeding under Turkish law.
4. Follow-up. We monitor service, hearings and decisions and explain the next step in clear English.

Important timing points

• The applicable notice and limitation period depends on the provider, claim and legal basis.
• Complete medical records and imaging should be requested and preserved promptly.

Deadlines depend on the exact decision, service method and legal basis. Please obtain individual advice before relying on a general period.

Documents to prepare

• Medical file, imaging and laboratory results
• Consent forms and treatment information
• Invoices, prescriptions and follow-up records
• Expert, insurance and authority correspondence

Common mistakes to avoid

• Starting proceedings without obtaining the complete medical file
• Treating an adverse outcome as proof of negligence without expert review
• Signing a release before future treatment and loss are assessed

Frequently asked questions

Is every unsuccessful treatment medical malpractice?

No. Liability generally requires a breach of the applicable professional standard, causation and loss. Clinical records and expert assessment are central.

Can a medical case be handled from abroad?

Much of the document collection and legal process may be handled under a suitable power of attorney, depending on the facts and procedural stage.
